    Story misses the mark, the game drags on with poor characters and uninteresting story to end in a lackluster climax.
    On a positive note the game keeps the same feel of extreme violence with great graphics, but these alone can’t make this game what the the first one was. Do not buy, wait until free or drastically discounted.

    -9 for ruined story, unsympathetic characters, unnecessarily added PC contents.
    +1 for graphic team.
    It is amazing how Naughty Dog can ruin their game by their own hands.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 对于我来说，双关语标题：The Last of Us 的Us代表的就是乔尔和艾莉。当乔尔在序章里被杀掉的瞬间TLOU系列对我来讲就已经结束了。
    TLOU从本质上来讲是剧情驱动的游戏，所有的系统以及画面都是为了剧情的推动以及感情的烘托而服务，所以对于整部剧情都无法喜欢的我来说，最理性的打分也就只是5分，但对于将自身感情投入到乔尔和艾莉的我，还有一众媒体给出的可笑满分，我只能打0分来进行一下平衡（不要说我是云玩家，我是预购并且玩完了整部游戏）。
    从我自己的游玩感受来讲，TLOU 1代所有的前段剧情以及中后期控制艾莉的剧情，都为最后乔尔做出就算放弃世界的未来也要拯救艾莉的决定做出了完美的铺垫，在游戏的最后阶段玩家的意志和乔尔的意志达到了高度的统一。同时也奠定下了玩家与乔尔和艾莉深厚的感情牵绊。
    但在2代里面，整个游玩过程中我只感觉到了别扭，分裂，我完全无法代入角色，就只是麻木的在显示屏前推动游戏剧情前进的工具人。
    如果说1代完美的将玩家带入到了整个故事之中，那么2代也完美的将玩家分离到了故事之外。更别谈2代在一开始就用高尔夫球棒毁掉了1代中玩家建立的感情。
    在这谈谈Neil Druckmann说的玩过1代的玩家不会喜欢2代的言论，在这句话中我了解到一个可能性，他并不是1代的玩家，因为我觉得没有任何主创人员会把自己不喜欢的作品发布到市场上。这里我想到了岩田聪说过的“在我的名片上写着，我是一个公司的总裁。在我自己来看，我是一个游戏开发者。在内心深处，我实际上是一个玩家”我终于了解到了为什么任天堂总是能够创造出玩家喜爱的游戏，而其他游戏制作公司可能偶尔会有佳作但很少能够持续的原因了。
    最后谈谈对于媒体评分的看法，如果不将感情因素考虑在内（如果考虑玩家对乔尔的感情因素，我觉得再理智也只能打满分10分的5分）日本iGN的7分我觉得是最客观公正的，大家有空可以去看看全文。    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anyone who was a fan of the original game for the balance between story, puzzles, and fighting.. prepare to be disappointed. The only character that is interesting is gone and you are forced to play as the villain of the story without a choice. They try to make you feel empathy but it only made me not want to play the game more than I already didn't. The game's unlikeable characters, morose Ellie, and lack of Joel gives no good elements to the game. The graphics are good. yea.. and? The gameplay has barely been tweaked and the way the story is jack **** I had to force myself to play through with Abby, and even then I was hoping to watch her friends die at some point. This game tries to make you feel bad for the enemy and fails horribly. If anything this has only shown me that naughty dog has gone the way of EA and Bethesda, selling out for a good dollar. Congrats on your bad game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are the best there are but that's it. The gameplay feels clunky just like the first one. It's almost no different than the first one, barely any improvement in this section. Soundtrack is on par just like the predecessor and the acting is good but the dialogue feels forced. And the elephant in the room, the story. From the first two hours we see a shift in Ellie, Joel and Tommy, as if they are not the same characters that were before. Having Joel die so early on and with such meaningless is very disrespectful to the character and it does nothing else than to shock the audience. Then forcing to play as Abby. That character feels forced into the story, trying to empathise with her but all it does is taking away the interest of the player in going forward into the story. Lastly the ending. We are forced to go on a path of revenge as Ellie for almost 25 hours only to kill everyone that had less to do with Joel's death but the story leaves the killer get away with the murder and leave the main protagonist with nothing. The story doesn't satisfy the players at all and all it does is leaving us betrayed and disappointed for struggling to rech the end of the tale. For a story driven game it fails in comparison with the first The Last of Us and if the story doesn't clicks, then it's hard to enjoy it especially that the gameplay is outdated.… Expand

Consumers' ability to distinguish false advertisements is affected by their emotions. People with positive emotions are more sensitive to false advertisements."

    They created false trailers where you can see the the protagonist of the first game, just to play with fan's nostalgia. One and a half hour and he is no longer in the game. and the cutscenes are totally different.

    The second part of the game, you play with a new character that nobody cares, or, if somebody does, probably hate it, for about 8 to 10 hours.

    Finally, the history makes no sense, it feels like a joke, specially the ending.

    The gameplay is outdated, but nobody cares about that, we know why we are here, we want a good story, this is not one.

    I will give it a 1 score, and that 1 is the only positive thing I can see in this game, graphics, audio and accessibility, very good job made by people CRUNCHING god knows how much.

    Hi, I want to start off this review by saying that the first game is one of my favorite games ever made, it was beautiful. With some of the most compelling characters I had ever seen. And after finishing this game, sadly. It doesn’t fall through on the incredible ending the first game had. With poor writing, development of characters, and useless shock value. I truly feel like nobodyHi, I want to start off this review by saying that the first game is one of my favorite games ever made, it was beautiful. With some of the most compelling characters I had ever seen. And after finishing this game, sadly. It doesn’t fall through on the incredible ending the first game had. With poor writing, development of characters, and useless shock value. I truly feel like nobody wanted this game to be good more than I did. I didn’t want a sequel. But I wanted it to be a good one. I have absolutely no feeling for the new characters. Every time one of them died. I felt nothing. Whenever I was supposed to feel bad for the TERRIBLE new protagonist, I felt nothing. This game doesn’t share any of the emotion the first game had.

    I’m not sure if they did it out of spite? Creatively drained? Trying to make a political statement? Maybe something went wrong in development? I’m not sure. But sadly, I hope that they don’t touch this franchise again and leave it alone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I want to say I have played this game and its entirety, so this is my honest thoughts on the game.

    Likes:
    - The Graphics are amazing like we all new they would be.
    - The voice and Audio in the game is also amazing
    - animations are some of the best I've seen in recent years
    Cons
    - They story leaves a lot to be desired ( I'll give more detail below)
    - Game play is the same from 2013 with a few tweaks here and there
    - For a story game it's extremely linear in how you play the story with no option of differentiation
    - Most Characters are dull and uninteresting i.e ( Abby, Lev, jesse, dina, owen, mel)
    - Game seems to force a lot of progressiveness all at once to the player
    - I had no urge to ever want to replay this game or even watch this game again.
    - Character development is almost non existent

    Summary: I don't want to sound like I'm ranting but this game was really awful to play and I don't say that because a MC died that I liked. I say that because the Story isn't fluid and jumps around to much between the characters Abby and Ellie. Furthermore the plot of this story is one of revenge which is fine if executed correctly. Unfortunately this story is not one of them, as your forced to play as a character that you, the player want to get revenge against. Then your forced feed flash backs of their life so that you can pity them which at this point is impossible because of who they killed just mins prior to playing them. Then when you switch back to the character you want to play as and start hunting down abby, they suddenly have a change of heart while killing them. Which leads to abby leaving and escaping victorious in her mission of revenge.

    ND tried to be to complex and to progress with this story which I think bit them in the ass because the writing did not live up to anything. It left me as a player in a state of why did I spend money on this.    … Expand

    Bad story telling, and in a linear game, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, IS A GOOD STORY! save your money and watch the cut scenes on Youtube or Pornhub, because you'd get **** by buying it. (if you REALLY want a good revenge plot, watch just about any western film, its better).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a disappointment, Joel died so pathetically it's like the writers forgot how cautious and ruthless Joel was in the first game. There's not way he (and probably even Tommy) would have allowed themselves to waltz into a room full of strangers and not even be armed????? Then we're forced to play as a woman none of us relate to all in an attempt to prove that revenge is wrong? Abby is only ever stopped from killing people because some weenie tells her to. Not to mention that we have to fight Ellie at the end and she's programmed like a dunce when the first game clearly portrayed her as a girl very capable in combat, there were so many opportunities where Ellie could have killed Abby but nooooo muh plot. There's a reason no other company has pushed games that make you play as the villain, it doesn't work. The game is gorgeous and the game-play is alright but the story is hot garbage.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне максимально не нравится то, что они сделали. Убили главного героя в самом начале игры - даже ничего не объясняя. Убивают еще одного близкого компаньона. Зачем так делать? Механики и геймплейные моменты ничего нового не принесли. Никаких красивых видов нет (Я видел пейзажи в разы лучше в играх 2005-2015 годов). И как же бесит это бесконечное ЛГБТ и феминизм. В игре доминирующая масса нпс и персонажей - женщины. Главную героиню сделали лесбиянкой и подают это в агрессивной пропаганде. Это выглядит ужасно и мне очень не приятно наблюдать за подобным. Можно было вполне обоснованно свести в линии Элли с Томми - они могли мстить вместе, была бы какая-никакая атмосфера первой части - два компаньона с вполне понятной связью, но нет - нужно ввести ЛГБТ персонажа, с которым абсолютно ничего разумного нет. Я уже ощущаю, что происходит ущемление "базовой" ориентации в играх и фильмах - хочется видеть эту привычную нормальность, а нам все толкают эти "меньшинства", которые уже реально достали. Это к вопросу о сюжете. Прокачка в игре тоже хромает - оружие качается по одной линии, навыки качаются линейно и без одного ты не откроешь другого - даже если тебе даром не сдался навык, ты будешь его качать, чтобы получить чертовы +20% ко здоровью. Искусственный интеллект ужасен - компаньона не видят зомби, если мертвец агрился на тебя, а союзник стоит рядом с ним, зомби бежит на тебя, а товарища не тронет. Союзник попадает примерно в 20% случаев, явно учился у имперских штурмовиков. И это в условиях апокалипсиса и дефицита ресурсов, патронов. Ага. Игра мне не понравилась и я не рекомендую никому тратить на нее время и деньги. Лучше переиграть в первую часть. Один балл за симулятор гитары в начале игры, это было прикольно.… Expand

    In the begging you admire fantastic graphics, landscape and environment with every little detail on it - it is really remarkable work.
    But in the middle of the game, where interesting plot twist (no spoilers!) is happening, and you are supposed to get very strong feelings of your previous actions - you feel nothing. You can not feel anything, because those were not your actions, those actions of game developers and you have mouth full of vomit because of those actions.
    And then the finale comes. At this moment your mouth is literally 1 second to explode. You have no other feelings except this torture to end. And game developers remove duct tape They explain you motivations of main heroes, their feelings, their metamorphosis, what they become. And you feel catarsys, you scream, but not because you emphathize to heroes. You scream because you finally free your mouth of this 25-30 hours of vomit.
    The story is great. Not original, but still great. And if it is told during 5 minutes it can even make your eyes wet. The graphics, landscapes, environment, music - all of this is fantastic.
    But with all those physically and mentally disgusting characters; illogical actions; forcefully shoved SJW content; not a single chance for player to make his own decision - all of those make make players to remember only taste of vomit in their mouths.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then...
